Lady Midnight
0
A stirred coupe of apple brandy and sweet vermouth, deepened by Bénédictine and a touch of green Chartreuse. Angostura bitters and a maraschino cherry round it out into a rich, herbal drink. By Frederic Yarm, Loyal Nine, Cambridge, MA, 2016.
Frederic Yarm made the Lady Midnight in 2016 as a cocktail of the day at Loyal Nine in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as an autumn variation on the Marconi Wireless. It starts from Calvados and sweet vermouth, adds Benedictine in the spirit of the Widow's Kiss and a little Green Chartreuse, as in a version served at Coppa, and finishes with chocolate bitters to bring out the Benedictine. The name comes from Leonard Cohen's song "Lady Midnight".
